"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Last Saturday I went to this club by myself and met this Black Chick named Kisha. She's 22 and I'm 20. I was in her vacinity and said hi. I asked her if she played pool and she said she didn't know how. I asked her if she wanted to learn and I taught her (Kino). I later danced with her and she said its to bad you are going to florida because you seem like somone I'd like to know better I tried kissing her but she moved away. I planted one on her later that night and it pretty much went smoothly.

She asked for my number and asked that I call her. I waited a couple of days and called her. Just small talk. I asked her if she wanted to see a movie and she agreed. She told me to call her Tuesday and I did just small talk I asked to see if she wanted to get together that night and she said she'll see me tomorrow. I called wednesday to pick her up and she didn't answer. This is the second time this sh*t happened to me in two weeks. I'm not sure if I called too much or what. If a girl tells you to call her should you not to play hard to get? Or do women just expect the guy to make the first call? Do women just not like given a fvck about or what? If you ask for the womens number are you no longer a challenge? Maybe if you don't call her when she asks she will like you more? Basically every experience I've had with women over the phone has led to disaster because the phone leaves them a way out. Any thougts?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I CAN SEE YOUR BIGGGEST FAULT RIGHT NOW

YOUR OVERANALITIC!

WHO GIVES A CRAP!

if you give her your number then wait a few days for a call (make sure you get the number from her 2) if she seems really interested. I sometimes get a call back and sometimes i dont. If i dont, then i call, make very small chitchat and straight to the point setting a date. my rule is 2 strikes and yoru out. If she flakes the first time on the date, i give her a second chance, if she flakes then i next her. (she could be nervous shy so i giver her the benifit of the doubt the first time)

You may say I'm over analytical but after this happens over and over and over it gets very fustrating and you can't help but try to figure out what went wrong.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

So are we going to that movie or what?"





never ask, especially on an answering machine, it makes you look pathetic. Your not asking her to go to a moive with you, you are telling her 2. They hardly say no. I would have just said to call me back and i would say something ****y.

well when im talking to her i'll bel ike. so wut are you up 2 on so and so..... if she says "i dunno" well you got plans now, your going with me to a movie.




simple as that.

if she says "im busy"

if she is really digging you then say, "of course you are, you are busy going to a movie with me"

or

"your gonna have to change your plans, so you can go to a movie with the hottest guy around...if she dosnt get it then she will say "who?" then say "duh, me" or something like that"


if you dont want to bust your balls that far then just say, "wel during this week when i have time, your coming out to see a movie with me"







TELL HER! you get less rejections. Dont ask for a number, demand it!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Sure. My thoughts are that it's not the phone's fault; that it's yours. After all, if you were an interesting person, one whom they wanted to be around, well then what reason would they have to use the phone as a way out? Now, let's take away the phone. Say that there never was such an invention. You're still going to be the same person, but instead of a phone they'll find some other way to avoid you. What you need to work on is yourself.

If you're telling girls you're moving away they probably think about it after you make plans and then decide it's better to not get attached.

Never give a girl your number!!! The first time you communicate with her on the phone it should be be to set up a date in person within the nexr seven days!!!!

Sounds like really good advice mate..I like that! sounds way more together and ballsy than "are we gonna see a movie or not."

yeah is sounds ballsy but its not when you say it. When i do this and my game is good, they never say no. Weather they flake out is another thing but of course girlz falke a lot and falke when you ask them 2.

I might say something lol "hey is obvious you think that im a cute guy and i think your hot so we are going to hook up"

You know Wyldfire I'm in a similar boat as Im moving next year for a great job at a really prestigious place. On one hand girls are interested in visiting, but on the other hand it is raising some issues.

im moving across the continent down to california next winter. any girl is not gonna work out when i leave. I guess i'll just have to find a girl in cali
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
